Our goal is to ensure our children grow through play and imagination in a safe and nurturing environment. Following these beliefs will help our children develop physically, socially, emotionally, and intellectually.
It is our goal to provide a loving atmosphere that emphasizes the development of the whole child – mind, body, and spirit. Early Learning Children’s Academy centers are located in Bucks, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties. We take pride in our teachers and staff who are all dedicated to providing high-quality daycare and education for our children.
Our goal is to supplement your parenting efforts and support you in your role as a working parent. We encourage you to join our existing families and become active participants in our school activities and programs.
Everyone at ELCA still takes COVID-19 and its spread seriously, and we follow all applicable requirements for managing infections and preventing its spread at our centers as announced by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services, OCDEL, and the Centers For Disease Control And Prevention (CDC). If you have any particular concerns about our management of COVID-19, please feel free to ask any of our Directors to address your concerns.
A beautiful center with a wonderful learning environment, incredible teachers, and a director who is as genuine, kind, and caring as they come… what more could a parent want for their child? My son, Connor, loves it here and I couldn’t be happier with his development!
I have been taking my children to ELCA at Springfield for almost seven years. I always feel confident that when I leave my children in the center’s care, that they are safe and will be treated well and have fun! I would vouch for my children’s teachers and the director at ELCA any day
I don’t typically take the time to post reviews, but this facility deserves one! My son learned letters, numbers, seasons, days of the week, etc!! Can’t speak highly enough of the staff. Highly recommend this facility! ❤️
My son was in the pre-k class and absolutely loved it! The teacher Miss Diane has been there for a long time and is so loved by all. My son learned so much and had an amazing time there with new friends. This place comes highly recommended by other moms locally and now I see why!
My girls have been attending this daycare for seven months and they love it. They have learned so much.
ELCA has been a godsend for my family! We have had very bad experiences with previous daycares for our son. ELCA has made us feel like we are a part of a family! The director Mrs. Donna is extremely helpful, compassionate, and understanding. Ms. Krystal (toddler teacher) is by far the best teacher my son has had! He has already learned so much in a short period of time. Ms. Krystal keeps the children very active throughout the day with fun and creative activities and crafts! Our family is so grateful to have found such a caring and wonderful daycare!
The best daycare since I switched my daughter there she’s always happy and healthy I will definitely recommend it to anyone I know thank you to the director Ms. Terry and her teachers miss Kristen and Kim.
Hi!!! I just wanted to reach out and thank you all very much for all that you did for my child this summer! She really loved going there and will miss the staff! Thanks again for everything and good luck this school year. ♥️
My daughter has had such a wonderful experience at ELCA. She has made great friends and has had the best teachers who truly care about all of the kids, really get to know each family, and understand every child’s needs.
Friday my daughter finished her last day of summer camp at Fort Washington and will start Kindergarten on Monday. I’m reaching out because I wanted to share with you how positive our experience at ELCA has been with our child’s Pre-k teacher, Maggie Winner, and Director Christina Sibley. We attended another center prior to ELCA and been through many directors and teachers and these two are by far some of the best there is.
Maggie’s compassion, patience, and creative way of teaching have helped my daughter thrive and be in a perfect position to go into Kindergarten. Aside from teaching, Maggie is one of the best humans I’ve ever met. She is truly one of a kind and we will be eternally grateful that we got to share a year of our life with her.
Christina has been such a consistent, reliable presence with a knack for planning and handling difficult situations. I’m sure it wasn’t easy handling all the COVID stuff and she did it seamlessly, even over the weekend. She is ALWAYS there. In our experience at other centers, sometimes the Director would be hard to track down if you really needed to speak with them. Not Christina. She’s there for early morning drop-offs and later afternoon pickups. And she responds to emails almost always on the same day. There were times when I emailed her over the weekend with something for the coming week and I’d be surprised when she responded before Monday morning. That’s unheard of. Sometimes I’ve worried about her work-life balance, she’s so available at the center. In my professional experience in the banking industry, we have a high turnover rate too due to the nature of the industry. However, when we have a stellar employee that we’d be devastated to lose, we make sure to do everything we can to make sure we retain them. Additionally, all the staff seems to genuinely like and respect her, which is a hard line to walk.
I hope you know how lucky you are to have Maggie and Christina. They made our lives so much easier and we will miss them dearly.
